We will be collecting "wish list" items to donate to Operation Gratitude, the 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-based organization that sends care packages to our military and first responders. We will have a container at our board of directors meeting in September in which you can drop off your donated items. If you are interested in donating, please contact Sarah at sarah@pcoc.org.
Here is a list of items that Operation Gratitude is in need of:
- All-purpose wipes (single & 30-ct. packs or less)

*Please remember to enclose a personal letter of appreciation for the receiver of the care package.
In addition, the cost to ship one care package is typically around $15. At our September board of directors meeting, we will have a container where you can drop your pocket change to be sent to Operation Graditude to help cover the cost of shipping the care packages.
